So, I’m just past the midway point of week 3 of my poison sumac experience. I’m doing much better, but it’s still not quite gone yet. Still doing the long-sleeve shirts and calimine lotion – with a dubious effectiveness. Though there have been a few times where I’ve stopped and thought “hey, it doesn’t itch” – which of course makes it instantly itch again.<\/p>\n

I hit the pool yesterday after work – the first time I’ve been back since the itch began. I think the chlorine in the water helped a bit – but it was counter-balanced by massive cramps in both calves. Very painful. I managed to “limp” my way through the last two laps, but it was rough. They are still sore today. Guess I need to eat more bananas.<\/div>\n

I went over to the neighbor’s for dinner on memorial day – they had grilled out. I had a couple hot dogs and two ears of amazing corn on the cob. I have a “kernel extraction” technique that impressed those assembled – and that was about the extent of the excitement for the weekend.<\/div>\n

Work has been rough this week. I can’t really go into it – other than to say that there are those that are actively opposed to their own success – and mine, incidentally. I’m getting close to unleashing some wrath. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tired, sore, cranky, and itchy. Still so very itchy. <\/div>\n
